Memorial University of Newfoundland is located in an ideal situation for "hands-on" study in areas of Psychology that simply would not be feasible at many other universities. Among these features are the following:

easy access to a variety of wildlife in its natural habitat, especially sea birds and marine life.
a neuroscience program with strong links to medical school and the same campus.
an emphasis on "hands-on", small labs in all areas of psychology.
completion of psychology major or minor within either the B.A. or B.Sc. programs.

Memorial's psychology graduates have been successful in many fields of endeavour. These include positions in business, information technology, and government, as well as programs for law, medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, educational psychology, counseling, clinical psychology, and graduate degrees in experimental psychology.
